The Balance of Payments Manual published by the International Monetary Fund provides accounting standards for balance of payments reporting and analysis for many countries. The United States Bureau of Economic Analysis adheres to this standard.

The sixth edition was released in prepublication form in December 2008. Its title was amended to Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual to reflect that it covers not only transactions, but also the stocks of the related financial assets and liabilities.

Together with the manual IMF has published an accompanying document Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Compilation Guide providing practical advice on the topics of the manual.

Since the fifth edition from 1993, the revision are done jointy with the revision of the System of national accounts, this enable a high compatibility with the concept used in both system as the balance of payments is often used a source of compiling the national accounts.
